Suicide bomb accused woman is lying, says witness

A prosecution witness in a trial in Amman, Jordan, today said an Iraqi woman lied when she said she did not plan to blow herself up in Amman’s triple hotel blasts.

Brig Abdul-Rahim Arabiyat, who retired from Jordanian intelligence after the November attack that killed 63 people, said the defendant told him she pulled the trigger on her explosives belt, but it failed to explode.
